First-Ever NFC Chronicle at Mobile World Congress 2013

SMARTRAC N.V., the leading developer, manufacturer, and supplier of RFID transponders and inlays, today announced the launch of the very first NFC-empowered chronicle at Mobile World Congress 2013 together with mobile innovation expert and author Patrick Meyer.

The 2-in-1 bonus edition includes “Steve Jobs & the World of Mobile” and the bonus book “Apps: The Inside Scoop” by Patrick Meyer. It goes beyond biographies to share future-focused insight, through the lens of Steve Jobs, into the emerging world of smartphones, social, mobile, gaming, apps, and more. It also includes do-it-yourself how-to steps for mobile and apps.

As the very first smartphone-empowered chronicle of its type, users can tap their smartphones on the cover and Patrick Meyer and Steve Jobs come to life. BullsEye NFC tags provided by SMARTRAC and experiential points to tap or snap throughout the book bring up content and videos, mobile app examples, and much more. The user experience has been created and delivered by Thinaire®, the leading NFC enterprise marketing platform.

The 2-in-1 bonus edition is available in a hardcover edition through Amazon.com as well as in an iPad and Kindle e-book edition. Profits from the hardcover and e-book sales are used to help innovation-focused students follow in Steve Jobs’ footsteps.

Patrick Meyer is “The CEO Futurist”, disciple of The Apple CEO, and Business 3.0 advisor to Fortune 500 and emerging tech venture CEOs/c-level executives. Further information and his periodic PatrickTV mobile video clips are available on http://www.patrickmeyer.com.

The Mobile World Congress is being held in Barcelona from February 25 to 28, 2013. As the premier global showcase for the ever-growing mobile industry, it is attended by senior executives of most major mobile phone companies, handset manufacturers, and app providers.
